March 6-11, 2004

An EOS Data Operating System (EDOS) discrepancy that impacted ASTER data has been corrected.

The Terra Flight Operations Team (FOT) successfully conducted a 19-degree MODIS calibration role maneuver on March 11.

The FOT is continuing to support the K-band drop out anomaly on TDRSSÐW. The flight team is having to re-dump about two passes per day to work around the drop outs and to avoid data loss.

During the past week there were two minor anomalies with the Solid State Recorder that are being reviewed. It appears that two blocks were dropped. This problem has been seen before and is being analyzed by the Flight Operations Engineering Team.
